If I'd thought ahead, I'd have had a drink every time the commentators said "battle of the bridge." I'd be blind by now.

This isn't going to be the last of the play off final drama. If Hull lose, they're going to complain that their preparation time was shorter than Middlesbrough's because they didn't know who they were playing, the least they'll want is £££££££

Come on Premier League, if EFL can respond to charges this quickly and firmly *surely* you can punish Man City for their charges from almost three and a half years ago!

BREAKING: Minnesota has INDICTED ICE officer Christian Castro in the non-fatal shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis. 4 counts of assault & 1 count of lying. This is the SECOND ICE officer charged by the Hennepin County DA. No charges yet for the murders of Good and Pretti. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

Today a friend told me she's learning about "things that can't be explained by science". The example she gave was something that can very clearly be explained by science, and I know this because I studied it as part of my (BSc) degree. Turns out explaining the science wasn't the reply she wanted.

Praise the lord! I got a call FROM A PERSON!!! Presumably they read the transcript from the text conversation I had with AI after the failed call attempt today where I told it that it was rubbish. I've got an appointment... in a week. A mere 6 weeks after the actual injury.

I retract my cynicism about this. It's clearly doing a lot to reduce surgery overload. I've been trying for a week and I can't get a nurse appointment for anything. The worst bit is, they text me telling me to call them, and then put me through to AI triage again.

This is the most logical explanation for tonight.

Micky should have given Madders the armband when he came on. I know they're both vices, but symbolically it would have been good.

If they break Maddison, I'm gonna go full Liam Neeson on them

Do you think Tel was really looking forward to playing Millwall next season, so as soon as he heard they'd gone behind he decided to give a pen away?

Well well well

What's the Joe Rodon subplot going to be tonight? At the moment, it feels like he'll make an absolute howler of a mistake in 80+ mins to give Spurs an equaliser. Maybe a brutally mistimed tackle in the box, ending someone's season and giving Richi a pen.

Now THIS is the crossover we all want to see!

The thing I'm finding interesting about the Starmer revolt is that it's being driven by the "little guys" in the PLP. It's not about someone wanting to get in, it's solely about getting him out. I wonder if there's a plan for what strategy would replace him/his?

Has anyone seen a good analysis of voters moving straight from Labour to Reform? Prior to these elections, I'd assumed it was more of a domino effect (Labour voters to Lib Dem, LD to Tory, etc), but a lot of the vox pops have been people who've jumped straight over.

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.

Hackney Wick is unbearably trendy. That's the last place to stand if you don't really want to get in.

Harriet Harman and Gordon Brown are interesting choices of advisers. Gordon Brown was famously unpopular despite being incredibly good at his job, so that's a bold pick for an unpopular PM, and HH hasn't been hiding her disdain for him - 3 months ago she called him "weak, naive, and gullible."

"Roth, who it should be noted looks exactly like Mr. Burns from The Simpsons" He looks like Christopher Lloyd playing the role of Mr Burns.

Oh, my lovely echo chamber. You had me believing the Reform and Green numbers today might be reversed. I love that you protect my fragile hope, but you do set me up for falls.

The election results so far are an absolute fucking disaster. The worst possible outcome is to have Reform numbers riding high but no actual control. It means they can put forward their ill-considered nonsense, safe in the knowledge it will be rejected and they can blame the other party councillors

With almost 400 seats declared, Reform have more than the rest of the parties and independents put together. I'm off to bed or to hang myself*, I'm not sure which yet. *this option may be influenced by seeing all the "hung council" results on the coverage.

Chris Bryant is coming across really well on the BBC election coverage. He seems to be speaking fairly honestly, and apologised to Laura Kuenssberg for speaking at the same time as her. The last bit should be a minimum standard for appearing on the show, but it's not so it was notable he did it.

Farnworth (Halton) council election result: LAB: 36.5% (-28.4) REF: 36.4% (+36.4) GRN: 13.7% (+13.7) CON: 13.4% (-21.8) Labour HOLD by one vote. www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...

Well, this has pierced my echo chamber optimism. Strap in for a long few days lads.

Guys, we have some news

I'm missing Taskmaster to vote

You know how speaking to GP receptionists is one of the worst things in the world. My GP now has an AI receptionist. 😳

@watsoncomedian.bsky.social popped over to the other place to report this "policy" to the Met as potential electoral fraud, and look who I see talking about no long being a Reform member! I know you have to be adaptable for your audience, but that's quite the character change.

I didn't know Taskmaster was filming in Canary Wharf.

I'll tell you how much I love Bethany England. I *forgot* she came to us from Chelsea. It's not about who she was, it's who she is 🤍💙

Well, this makes me want to scratch my eyes out.

I've just bought wild garlic seeds. That's cheating, isn't it? If I'm buying seeds, that garlic's been caught.

A whole lot of these pictures seem to be their cum faces

Hooray, our World Cup 2026 Wall Chart is FINISHED 🥳 It's our biggest wall chart ever, an A1-sized shambles sullied by SIXTY wonky doodles. Dunno if competitions fly on Bluesky, but if you share this we'll send a couple of freebies out to some (un)lucky RTers x 🛒 noscoredraws.com/products/wor...

My brother shared this in the family whatsapp so coming to a work place near you the best email ever

The lady doing the weather on ITV just ended it with "good night, sleep well," and that feels like the cutest thing I've ever heard on the news.

Did anyone who sent an #NoToDeZerbi email get a reply? I didn't, sent a follow up this weekend. I'm keen to cancel my membership before the end of the season as I don't want the cancellation reason to be (wrongly) put down to relegation.

Remember kids Men drive but

I'm looking forward to Arsenal fans agonising over what they want on 10th May. "To keep a chance of winning the league (even though it's probably City's now), or to help send Spurs down and let WH beat us? It's Sophie's Choice!"

I didn't want to jinx it by saying it before the match, but Danso is looking better and better with every game he plays. He doesn't feel like a back up CB anymore, just a different choice.

I think Maddison might have a stroke if he doesn't get to play soon. He can't handle being on the bench, he's *desperate* to get out there!

Looks like Spurs are finishing the season like they started it. Getting a fucktonne of awful-looking injuries.

Spoke with my granddaughter when she was in maybe 3rd grade about college. She said she wasn’t sure if she would go. Told her to name 2 presidents since she was so smart. “George Washington & Michelle Obama’s husband”. 😂😂😂 She’s in her 1st year of college now & living her life to the fullest 💙

Top tier graffiti.

This is a surprisingly good statement from Spurs re racism aimed at the players. The end of it almost sounds like it was written by a campaigner rather than a straight comms person. One quibble though: Respondology? That's a terrible made up name/word! www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/1060702...
